father, Dr \V E. Throckmorton,!
and family in istl and settled in
Collin county before the county

Tennessee to wed a distant tela
tive, Miss Ann Rattan, within a
few days after their marriage on
March I!), 1817, he started back
to Texas with his bride, mikinf;
the trip in wagons with friends
and relatives.
He served in the House of Rep-'

JOSEPH WEI.l>ON BAIl.EY JK.
Dallas, Texas, Jan. 31. Speak-
ing to an enthusiastic group of
11 lends and supporters who gath-
ered here from all over the state,
Joseph Weldon Bailey, Jr., in
TexaH because of a lawsuit, dis-
cussed the coming senatorial race,
declaring that the junior senator
Horn Texas has already opened
his campaign and that he was
"just irish enough" to like the
fight which had been preeipitat-
, u. Young Bailey said that for
the present the issue has been
made "loyalty to the President
and the New Deal.
"[ accept that challenge," Bail-
ey declared, "and to find the
truth, to determine the difference
between his loyalty and mine, let
turn to the one place where
truth can be found. It has no

Record of the Seventy-
It shows that
Senator Connally voted against
fbur important measures, includ-
ing Repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment, the legalization ot
the a! - of beer, the NRA, and ia
opposition of the President's vet-
eimi legislative program. He fin-
ally ran out on the veterans
themselves."
Bailey stated that during the
ministration measures, while Sen-
ator Connolly's very first vote
was for a higher import duty on
wires was against the adminis-
tration.
Bailey chidcd the Junior Sena-j
tor for using his patronage to ob-
tain publicity, and with claiming
credit that was not justly due
him in connection with the dollar
devaluation. Bailey said that Mar-
tin Dies from the Second Texas
Congressional District introduced
a dollar devaluation bill the clay
heTt)re Connally made his Senate
address on that subject. Dies se-
cured a hearing on his bill, while
Connally's was never considered
by the Committee.
Stating thai be had campaigned
Texas for Repeal, thus supporting
the administration, he charged
Connally with "tearfulness" and j
contrasted Sheppard's activities
on behalf of prohibition with the
Junior Senator's less enthusiastic1
support. Bailey stated he's for
women in politics and favors their
participation in party rewards,
He said that Connally had named
no Texas woman to an outstand-
ing administration position.
Referring to the charge that he
had voted against the Farm Re- j
lief Bill, Bailey said he voted for
this Bill as finally passed.
'T voted against this bill in its,
original form as I doubted its
constitutionality and because our
platform had demanded a reduc-
tion in the Smoot-Hawley Tariff
and this experiment seemed to be'
contrary to the traditional Dern-
oi.ratio tariff doctrine." After the
senate had revised and amended
it many times and as it was the \
administration';; only plan for ag-
ri ultural relief, after a confer-
<nce between the Senate and the
House 'on the bill, Bailey voted
for the bill as it now appears up-
on the statute book.
Immediately after the address,
Bailey left for Oklahoma City,
where lie participated in a trial
of a case Monday. He has now
leturncd to Washington.
